The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 218 Secret Fight and Open Conflict [Part [-]]

[The second and third updates are both in the middle of the night, everyone go to bed first, watch tomorrow]

Midnight.

Jiao Shun embraced Xiangling, closed his eyes for a long time and never fell asleep.

Firstly, he was worried about whether Chen Yuanwai's comrades would take the bait tomorrow; secondly, he always felt that the other party was plotting, so what should I say...

It looks delicate on the surface, but it is full of loopholes.

I always feel that even if I didn't find out in advance, I still have room for a comeback.

Is this the other party's lack of ability, or is there something in it that I didn't want to understand?

After tossing and turning, he still couldn't fall asleep, so Jiao Shun simply got up quietly, went outside to fill the water, and went into the south room of the east chamber in the dark—the room of Xiang Ling and Yu Chuan.

There were some discordant movements gradually in the dark night.

Another half an hour later, there was thunderous snoring in the south room.

…………

Early the next morning.

After arriving at the yamen, Jiao Shun pretended to be on duty to handle official business, but in fact he kept his ears up, listening to the wind and grass outside anytime and anywhere.

He didn't make him wait too long. Not long after the hour passed, six or seven people rushed into the courtyard, and the leader was Hou Yun, the supervisor of the handyman's office.

"Master Hou, this is it?"

Jiao Shunying came out and saw the hostile posture of the visitor, and knew that it must be the other party's attack. While making up his mind, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that Hou Yun would be the first to attack!
This Chief Hou has been amiable since he joined the post, and he has never shown the slightest rejection. He has always been known as a wild crane in the Yamen, and he can be regarded as one of the top salary thieves in the Ministry of Industry.

But at this time, Hou Yun didn't have any kindness on his face.

With a stern face and hands behind his back, he said stiffly: "Jiao Suozheng, Hou is responsible for offending me! Come on, bring Zhang Cheng and Zhang Hua and his son back to the office, and seal up all official documents and accounts in the office. There is no news from the official. No one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization!"

"Lord Hou!"

Jiao Shun also lowered his face, and said coldly: "Are you going to put Jiao under house arrest? But I don't know if this is an order from the Secretary or the Ministry!"

At the same time, he murmured to himself, Hou Yun was looking like he was about to tear his face apart, could it be that he was 100% sure of getting rid of him?
Did I really miss something?

"Jiao Suozheng misunderstood."

Hou Yun still explained with a straight face: "I also received a report that there was a corruption case in the office. As the chief inspector of the handyman's office, I can't just sit idly by. It will be reported later!"

As he spoke, he looked around, and the book office and officials who gathered one after another raised their voices again: "Just stay here and don't move around. When I find out the truth of the matter, I will naturally give you an explanation!"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng and Zhang Hua's father and son had been brought out by his subordinates, Hou Yun flicked his sleeves neatly: "Let's go, go back to the department!"

Bah~
Tangerine!
After watching Hou Yun leave with Zhang Cheng and Zhang Hua and his son, Jiao Shun couldn't help but secretly spat.

"grown ups."

At this time, Zhao Yan and Liu Changyou surrounded him, hesitating to speak with apprehensive expressions.

"Since Mr. Hou asked us to wait, let's just wait. The whole world is taking a collective rest."

Jiao Shun smiled disapprovingly, and ordered Shuan Zhu to move out a chair from the inside, and sat down in the middle of the yard, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Of course, he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface, and he had been thinking over and over again, whether he had the possibility of capsizing the gutter.

According to the feedback received yesterday, Su Shilang should be reliable, not to mention that he still has a file in the Beijing Palace, if he really betrayed him, he can ask the Beijing King to come out and testify.

hmm~
Not to mention the flying dragon riding on the face, at least he is invincible. In the end, even if he can't punish the person behind the scenes, he will definitely be able to avoid the stigma of corruption.

…………

After Hou Yun took the Zhang family father and son away, he did not rush to question them, but temporarily separated the father and son, saying that he would report to the Secretary first, and then interrogate them.

He went to report without mentioning it.

But he said that Zhang Hua was taken into a small room, and two guards, who didn't know whether they were helpers or servants, told him to wait inside, and then went out on their own.

But as soon as they left, someone outside the window on the back foot called out hoarsely: "Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang!"

Zhang Hua subconsciously walked to the window, and was about to open it to check, but the man stopped him and said, "Don't open the window, I'll just pass a few words and leave! You only have two quarters of an hour, if you can't persuade your father to agree to this thing……"

After a pause, the man said again: "You should know what the situation is like now. Although the money was given to you, whether you have life or not depends on your performance."

Zhang Hua naturally understood what this meant.

In fact, he thought it was a bit strange for Chen Yuanwai to pay the salary in advance so readily without even forcing himself to take the initiative.

But the moment he saw Hou Yun, these doubts disappeared.

Hou Yun is the chief inspector of the handyman's office. No matter what happens to Jiao Shun, he can't be bypassed when investigating the case. In this way, it's like being held in his hands, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about betraying him.

Unfortunately……

Rao they were planning in every possible way, but Jiao Shun had already seen everything.

Zhang Hua sighed secretly, went back to the original place and sat down to wait. After a while, the two guards came back and brought him to Zhang Cheng's room.

The father and son looked at each other in blank dismay, one with suspicion and one with despair.

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhang Cheng was the first to ask: "The report letter that Mr. Hou said..."

"father."

Zhang Hua interrupted his father's words, and said listlessly: "Master Jiao has already made plans, we just have to wait for it."

Originally, he still wanted his own father to take the blame, but now in this situation, what's the use of talking about the one who does not take the blame?
Zhang Cheng's face paled when he heard the words, but he still asked suspiciously: "Lord Jiao has plans long ago? Even I don't know, how did you know?"

"father."

Zhang Hua rushed outside and pouted: "This is not a place to talk, so please don't ask."

Only then did Zhang Cheng shut up.

The father and son faced each other silently, each had their own thoughts, and they were not on the same channel.

…………

Go back and talk about Hou Yun.

At this time, he was already in the inner hall of the Baigong Division, in front of the director Langzhong and the two Yuanwailang, and roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Then he took out the report letter, raised it over his head and said: "Because the letter claimed to be Jiao Shun's master, the officer has already brought him to the department, and after the department's approval, he will immediately confirm whether it is his." for!"

A small official stepped forward to take the letter, and respectfully put it on the official case of Zhao Yi, the doctor in charge.

Zhao Yi didn't even look at the envelope, but still stared straight at Hou Yun, and said playfully after a long while: "Since you have already played it first, why did you come to report it without asking clearly?"

I heard Hou Yun answer neither humble nor overbearing: "The lower officials banned the handyman's office without authorization and took away the father and son of the Zhang family, because they were afraid of avoiding leaks. Now that the situation has been controlled, it is natural to report it to the Secretary first, and then the Secretary will order an investigation. "

"I see."

Zhao Yi nodded slightly, but his eyes turned to Yuanwailang Xu Hui.

As an old partner for many years, Xu Hui immediately said with understanding: "If this kind of thing really happens, naturally we can't tolerate it lightly! However, the handyman's office is trying to implement a new policy, and Jiao Suozheng is the key to it. It's a big deal, I think It should still be reported to the Ministry, and the Lord of the Ministry should make a decision in person."

"As it should be."

Zhao Yi immediately stood up, greeted Hou Yun and said, "Master Hou, follow me to the Master of the Ministry Hall, and explain the cause and effect carefully."

Hou Yun seemed to have expected a long time ago that the department would probably kick the ball into the department.

Immediately, he respectfully agreed, and followed Zhao Yi out of Baigongsuo.

After they left, the two members, Wailang, breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Nan, who was in charge of the smelting plant and the textile plant, shook his head and said, "Why bother to make trouble again? Brother Guangmei [Xu Hui's word Guangmei], what do you think?" Is this Jiao Shun corruption incident true or false?"

"Humph~"

Xu Hui snorted: "Brother Huaiju, why do you ask me? How many people in the Ministry of Industry are staring at him. If there is any matter of favoritism, fraud, corruption and bribery, it will be his turn to report it?"

"Haha."

Liu Nan laughed, and then said seriously: "But such a simple truth, those people should also understand it, but... don't they really think that they can turn a deer into a horse in the Ministry of Industry?"

Xu Hui shook his head slightly: "I'm also wondering, is there something strange about this matter?"

"It doesn't matter that much."

Liu Nan stretched his waist: "Even though they are making trouble, anyway, with Master Zhao here, this Baigongsi will not be able to turn the sky around!"

What he said was obviously admiring Zhao Yi, but after careful study, there was resentment.
